Last week was rockbottom. I know you’ve heard this before, but it was last week. On Sunday, I found cordon blue in the freezer, which had been there for two years, but I’m sure was still good. It was frozen, that stuff never goes bad, right? Then Tuesday, I made hamburgers to go with the …

What I gave up for lent was apparently blogging and not biting my nails. I’m a failure. But only in not biting my nails, blogging, and budgeting. I once told my boss that if I could get my girls out of high school without a pregnancy I would consider myself a success. And I was …

We had a party at work for Fat Tuesday, or as I call it, Tuesday. They put these on all the doors: And I dressed like this: I don’t know if our new company is Cajun, but they’re in Pennsylvania so I can’t imagine they are. Do you celebrate at your job? And what …

I broke my streak and didn’t make it all the way through February. It’s fine though, it’s all good. I almost murder/suicided Tenderheart yesterday so the fact that I lost my blog streak wasn’t really in the front of my mind. Of course it would be my luck, I’d do the murder and not the …

My sister had a safety meeting at work the other day and she sent me this. I told her I’d be dead in the first wave. And listen, I’m no survivalist. I’m exhausted watching Castaway. I would have died seven minutes into that movie if I were there. I’d have died an hour before I …

In the spirit of Never Have I Ever yesterday, I’ve never had a manicure. I’ve had two pedicures in my life even though I need another one desperately, but I’ve been a nail biter my whole life so I’ve never actually had a manicure. I once worked with a woman who was going to school …

I have never worn fake eyelashes. I’ve never eaten a Big Mac. No skydiving, no rocky mountain climbing, I didn’t go 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fumanchu. I do not live like I’m dying. I’ve never stolen from a store. I’ve never been in handcuffs and never been arrested. Not that I haven’t done some …

I sent Sunshine a text in the middle of the day the other day that said, You’ll take care of Tenderheart if anything happens to me, right? And really, someone only needs to keep Tenderheart here until May 2018 so she can finish school and then she’ll go to college and then onto her life …

The flags by my office are super festive. My girl loves a snapchat filter. This was my favorite Valentine this week. Tenderheart sends me this from school almost every day. But she lost her streak with me this week. Both she and Moonshine lost it and now I only have streaks with two of Tenderheart’s …
